SYNOPSIS:
Restored especially for Milestone by the British Film Institute's National Film and Television Archive, cinematographer Herbert G. Ponting's 90 Degrees South is a spellbinding chronicle of Captain Robert Scott's heroic and ultimately tragic race for the South Pole - not only did Roald Amundsen reach the goal first, but Scott and his entire team died on the return trip. Ponting, who had been renowned still photo - grapher, dedicated his life to Scott's memory. Twenty years after his friend's death, he produced and narrated 90 Degrees South, the 1933 sound re-release of his original footage. The film quotes from Scott's journal, which was discovered with the explorerer's frozen body. These brave and eloquent diary entries tell of the heartbreaking last days of the doomed expedition. Ponting's hauntingly beautiful images of ice caves and Antartic wildlife are timeless masterpieces of cinematography. Today, Ponting's tribute to his fallen companions remains deeply moving.
